In a cycle of improvement two years ago, all comments received
through NCA, VBA, and VHA links are routed into the Patient
Advocate Tracking System (PATS) and communicated to the
PAO. The PAO aggregates, reviews, and analyzes the data to
better discern satisfaction and dissatisfaction patterns and trends.

Trends and significant events are reported to SLT members at their
daily huddle and reported to the PIT Crew monthly. Additionally,
the PAO prepares “walking and talking” points for the SLT to
deploy during daily leadership rounds. Key learnings are incorporated
into the annual refresher training the following year or
escalated as additional training in the current year.
